Blog Assignment #5 - Due March 19, 2010

For each of the equations below:
1. Solve each equation for the variable.
2. Explain each step you took to solve the problem and find the value of the variable.
3. Justify your reasoning for using the steps that you did to solve the equation.

Equation A: 7t = 10t + 18
Equation B: 14u – 7 = -14 – 7u

4. Compare the two equations. What was the same about them? What was different about them? What did you have to do differently for each of the problems to find the value of the variable?


A gentle reminder:
